You win and lose and then you win
and don’t lose. What it is? A base-
ball game. Such was the second game
between the Bronchos and the Tigers
at an Pedro park yesterday afternoon.
It was the first game under the exclus-
ive management of O’Connor& Weber
and the new firm had on its working
clothes. Their first move was to win
a game and no time was lost in mak-
ing a beginning. Immediately after
Umpire Franklin gave the command
the festivities began. The first inning
closed with four runs for the Bron-
chos resulting from a trio of doubles
a single and a pair of stolen bases.
That was the first tip given by the
Bronchos that they were in the game.
It was also a warning for Pitcher Bur-
his who was slated to do the honors
for the Tigers.
All was well until the third inning.
Two fatal errors by Looie Knau gave
the visitors their first runs the score
being 4-2 at the close of the inning.
Burris had steadied down and was
pitching good ball. In the visitors’
.fourth Weckbecker beat out a bunt.
Alexander hit a slow one to Hays
of which the big pitcher made a wild
throw to Mike at first the ball going to
right field and Week crossed the
plate scoring the Tigers’ third run.
Burris flew out to Kohnle. Then
Keefe muffed a line drive of Bam-
mert and Alexander scored the tieing
run. A wild pitch by Hays brought
Bammert home and when the Bron-
chos came to the bat the score was 5-4
against us.
It didn’t remain that way long how-
ever for the Bronchos did some more
stickwork along about that time. A
pair of well placed singles by Keefe
and Clark in our fifth and a beautiful
double by Bailey put the score 6-5 for
the Bronchos. The following inning
we scored four times on a single by
Kohnle. Weber’s sacrifice and doubles
by Keefe to Knau. It was 10-5 for
San Antonio when we took the field.
We scored again in the ninth and the
visitors got two runs in their last ma-
king the final score 11-7.
DIAMOND DUST
The Bronchos made sceven two-base
hits yesterday of which Keefe got two
Knau two and Bailey three.
Beautiful throw of Stanley to Mike
in the second when Joe Dowie was
caught napping with the bases full.
Win Clark played a star game all
around yesterday.
Billy Kohnle made his first error of
the season yesterday.
Left Fielder Page was put on the
bench yesterday far "sassing” the um-
pire.
When Umpire Franklin pulls his
watch the players scatter as if it was
a gun.
Con Harlow is playing with Paris.
First Baseman Jantzen of Paris has
been released and Ed. Babst an ex-
Southern leaguer is covering the ini-
tial bag.
Pitcher Nolan of the Midlands holds
the strike-out record of the season
thus far. Eleven of the Sentors
went down before him yesterday.
The schedule for May 8. 9 10. is as
